Mu Qingyan walked back and forth in the dark secret passage a few times, her brows furrowed.

Luan'er, Yan'er followed aside, I don't know why, speaking of which, this secret passage is neither long nor short, and the place that can be seen by the naked eye is so big, and the strangest thing is that there is still a room at the end of the secret passage.

"Princess, we have been here several times, but we have not found anything useful. Yan'er looked and looked around the room disinterestedly.

Mu Qingyan frowned and looked at the room in the secret passage, and said, "Did you hear that?"

Luan'er glanced at Yan'er, and the two shook their heads at the same time, and replied, "I didn't hear anything." ”

"Look around. ”

"Looking for what?"

Yan'er, Luan'er was stunned, and she didn't know what Mu Qingyan was looking for.

Mu Qingyan walked back and forth in this closed secret room a few more times, frowned and said, "The road to the outside." ”

"There's nothing here, except for some basic furnishings, no extra cups, there's no way at all!" Yan'er said, looking at the walls on all sides.

Luan'er thought the same way, but she didn't give up searching, and found the lampholder where the candles were stored in the limited room, lit the lamp, and the room was suddenly bright.

"What is this?" Luan'er was pushing a candlestick, and the table next to her opened the upper layer of the tabletop, revealing a ledger inside.

Mu Qingyan took the account book that Luan'er brought over, flipped through it casually, surprise flashed in her eyes, and said, "I really didn't expect that she would hide so deeply." We've hidden things here, and we'll look for them to see what else they have. ”

Seeing that the room was no different, the three of them walked again, still finding nothing.

Mu Qingyan walked to a bare wall, knocked with her hands one by one from top to top and from left to right, her expression was solemn, and her brows were tightly locked.

Seeing her frowning, Luan'er couldn't help but ask, "Princess, what's wrong?"

"That's not right!" Mu Qingyan's hand movement did not stop, and said, "Don't you feel it? Why can this secret room be lit with candles? Moreover, there is nothing here, what is the meaning of existence?"

Luan'er, Yan'er shook her head very blankly.

Mu Qingyan said: "From the outside, the road to here is a bit far, and the deeper the secret room, the easier it is to run out of air. Without air, it is difficult for the candle flame to burn, and it is difficult for people to breathe and live. However, we have been in for so long and there is no reaction to the feeling of lack of oxygen at all. ”

Hearing this, Luan'er and Yan'er thought about it, and everything was really as she said.

After thinking clearly, Yan'er and Yan'er both looked stunned, and hurriedly said: "If there is enough air here, then it must be the outside to have air coming in." Could it be ......?"

Mu Qingyan listened, stared at the secret room, made a silent gesture, and said in a low voice: "Yan'er went outside to find Zhang Qing, and asked him to bring An Qianzhong and a few more secret guards......"

At the foot of the mountains and forests on the outskirts of the city.

Zhang Heng let people chase the fake Queen Mother Shui Linglong to this mountain forest, and after chasing here, he quickly asked people to surround all the roads that could escape under the mountain, but so far the fake Queen Mother Shui Linglong has not been arrested.

King's Landing sat on horseback, watching the guards in front of him search the mountains continuously, with a cold expression, and the fruitless situation lasted for most of the day, and the time after waking up was here.

At this time, someone came in a hurry, and only walked in front of King's Landing after passing Zhang Heng.

"What's the matter?" King's Landing's expression was cold, and his eyes swept lightly.

The Dark Guard whispered a few words to King's Landing.

King's Landing moved when he heard this, and then said to Zhang He on the side: "You stay here to command, Zhang Heng will go with this king." ”

When Zhang Heng heard this, his expression tightened, and he immediately stepped forward.

Zhang He replied even more: "Yes, master!"

King's Landing looked at the blocked mountains and forests in front of him, his thin lips opened slightly, and he spat out cold words, saying, "As long as the people here don't die, just keep a breath." ”

The outskirts of the city are a bit far from the palace, but with a diameter, it doesn't take half an hour for King's Landing to gallop on horseback.

As soon as King's Landing entered Cining Palace, Zhang Qing blew over like a violent wind, and said in a hurry: "Master, you can come back! Princess, you have found a secret room in the dormitory of Cining Palace. Moreover, the account book of hallucinogenic drugs was also found in it, and those who died from hallucinogenic drugs, all of them had intersections, and these people had all participated in Xiao Ping's banquet in private. ”

"Princess, where are you now?" King's Landing frowned more and more when he heard Zhang Qing's report.

Zhang Qing heard this, and hurriedly said: "The princess found the secret passage and went in with people, but she hasn't come out yet." said that he wanted to find out the situation inside, and asked his subordinates to find An Qianzhong as well. The voice fell, and Yan'er took out the account book from the secret passage.

"The ledger was taken out by the princess for Yan'er. ”

Zhang Heng took the page of Zhang Qing's account book and presented it in front of King's Landing, seeing the familiar name, as well as the huge amount of silver marked on it.

King's Landing's eyes were gloomy, and he said, "Besides An Qianzhong, who else has you brought in?" as he spoke, he walked into a secret passage that had been lit with lights.

Zhang Heng and Zhang Qing hurriedly followed.

Zhang Qing followed by his side and explained: "The princess also asked her subordinates for some people to go in, and told her subordinates that if the master comes, she will tell the master about hallucinogenic drugs." ”

"Well, say!" King's Landing replied coldly, his pace getting faster and faster.

"Hallucinogenic drugs were made by the fake Queen Mother Shui Linglong in order to collect money. And, Xiao Ping is the seller of the fake Empress Dowager Shui Linglong, Xiao Ping followed the emperor's reputation of favoring Xiao Guifei, and he came into contact with a lot of people. The store is also particularly vigorous, every time Xiao Ping invites a banquet, there are countless people who come and go, and there is an endless stream. ”

"And no one will ever suspect or notice that these people are looking for Xiao Ping to buy medicine, and those who have taken drugs and officials will spit out their secrets afterwards, because these secrets are threatened to be sold together or even bring more people together. After these people eat it, they become addicted, and when they are addicted, they will go to Xiao Ping or other secret piles to buy medicine. ”

"It is precisely because of the control of drugs that no one has been willing to eliminate the source of hallucinogenic drugs. It is also recorded in the ledger that some people who have been hit or are afraid of accidents and do not want to continue to want to quit drugs, but all of them were killed and disabled by the fake Empress Dowager Shui Linglong...... "Zhang Qing kept up with King's Landing, and said what Mu Qingyan asked Yan'er to relay.

"I'm afraid of the forces behind Xiao Ping, so no one is willing to come out and say it, because even if you die, you can still take hallucinogenic drugs, obviously those people are afraid of addiction, and they confess behind the scenes, and there will be no place to get medicine in the future. Zhang Heng listened to the words and also said what he thought in his heart.

Zhang Qing also agreed, and said: "The princess said that because Xiao Ping used Xiao Guifei to get the emperor's favor, and the civil and military officials also acquiesced, and no one can really get rid of these." The people sent by the emperor may have problems themselves, and with such control, they secretly sell drugs even more frantically. ”

The more he listened, the more solemn his expression became, and Zhang Heng said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, why is there such a farce at the spring ploughing banquet, don't think about it, the female killer at the banquet must have been arranged by her." ”

King's Landing stared at the secret passage with a little way to go, and as he walked, he said, "Hurry up!"

When, he took Zhang Heng and Zhang Qing to the entrance of the secret room at the end of the secret passage, and the secret guards guarding outside immediately reported the situation inside.

Hearing Mu Qingyan and An Qianzhong smashing the wall inside together, King's Landing's eyelids suddenly jumped suddenly.

An indescribable feeling hit his heart, and he didn't have time to think about it, and in an instant, he flashed into the secret room.

However, after the first one entered, he hadn't walked to Mu Qingyan yet, but he happened to see Mu Qingyan smashing a big hammer against the wall in front of him, and the next moment, dust was rolling on his face......

"Mu Qingyan!"

Mu Qingyan looked back when she heard this, and happened to meet the man with a dark face and angry eyes flying towards him at great speed.

At this time, there was a sudden sound in the thick dust, and as the dust dissipated, there was the sound of people walking through the passage.

I also saw that the fallen wall was open, and there were people on the opposite side who were choking on the dust and coughing, covering their mouths and noses and escaping from the opposite passage.

King's Landing rushed to Mu Qingyan's face, and before he could hold the little woman in his arms, he saw Mu Qingyan raise his hand like lightning and fly the silver needle in his hand, without even looking at it, the silver needle hit the target like a thunderbolt of white light.

"Bump, bump!!", hitting those who ran unhappily, fell to the ground in an instant.

The guards immediately stepped forward to arrest them, and since the secret passage was opened, the dust formed by the fall quickly dispersed with ventilation.

Looking at the scene in front of them at this moment, everyone had different expressions.

After a period of panic, Mu Qingyan stretched out her hand to hold King's Landing's hand, shook it gently, and said with a flattering smile inviting merit: "What's the matter? I'm amazing, I helped you find bigger and more secrets." ”

"......" King's Landing looked at her smile, but his heart was beating wildly, and even when he saw the figure flashing in his eyes when the wall fell, he could feel that his hands were also cold.

If the person in the opposite wall just now came prepared, with poisoned arrows or with bows and arrows already prepared, then she ......

"You ......" glared at Mu Qingyan, he was poor for words for the first time, and he was so angry that he didn't know how to scold for the first time.

Mu Qingyan's attitude was very sincere, and she said, "Well, you say, people are listening!"

"......" King's Landing stared at her.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out, what's more, Mu Qingyan's face is not as good as before, and now that she said the wrong word, she dared not give him a good face.

Because of this, King's Landing couldn't think of what he wanted to say at this moment, and the majesty of the four princes completely collapsed.

So, it was impossible for him to swallow his anger, and then he turned his head to look at Zhang Qing, and scolded Zhang Qing with his head and face.

"This king asked you to protect the princess well, why did you let the princess come here? There are thieves on the other side? This king asked you to dig three feet into the ground, and you can't let go of even a single gap, what are you doing? This king asked you to take people to guard Cining Palace, what did you do? You dare to let her come and mess around with this nonsense!"

"Subordinate, subordinate......" Zhang Qing wanted to cry aggrievedly, but what the master said was not wrong, he really wanted to cry without tears!

King's Landing had a calm face and said sharply: "What? This king is still wrong? In case the person hiding inside just now is the praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch behind, waiting not in twos and threes but in a group of prepared people, what if this wall is opened, the moment it is opened, it will be rushed to death." ”

"And you!" Turning his head and looking down at the unreflective person, he said in a deep voice: "Are these things what you should do? I don't want to think about what kind of identity I am before doing things, besides, do you think that Shui Linglong dares to be so unscrupulous in the palace will be kind in this situation? You are unprepared, suddenly, how can you protect yourself?"

King's Landing was really angry, Zhang Heng, Zhang Qing couldn't help but tense their bodies, and the surrounding secret guards couldn't help but shrink their necks when they saw it.

Mu Qingyan took his hand and said softly: "What my husband taught me is that I was wrong, and I promise to never do it again in the future!"

King's Landing looked at Mu Qingyan's little face, knowing that she would continue to do such things in the future, and now admitting her mistake was just to appease him.

Thinking like this, he simply grabbed her hand with his backhand, looked at her coldly, and said, "There is no sincerity at all, this is the attitude you should have to admit your mistakes?"

When the words fell, he let go of her and walked straight forward, looking at the person who was on his knees after being captured by the secret guard.

Mu Qingyan didn't expect that King's Landing would not dump her smiling face and flattery at this time, and for a while, she was stunned and didn't react.

He stood there stunned for a while, still holding the posture of being pulled in the man's arms, and after a long while, he moved his body and suddenly woke up, looking at King's Landing's back a little helplessly.

In the past, when King's Landing kept a calm face on her and threatened her life at every turn, she had never been so worried about it as she was at this moment.

He gave her a heart-wrenching feeling she had never had......

I had never seen King's Landing so obviously angry in my mind, and people like him were usually faint, unmoving, and really angry. He won't lose his temper with her directly, but will tell her in a different way that he is angry.

In a trance, Mu Qingyan realized that their feelings for each other had reached a depth, and she had always thought that she was just going to coax a man, but when a man had feelings for her, he would give back.

I thought that I had been able to coax a man, and this help would be exchanged for a man's praise, but I didn't expect that such an approach would anger the man.

The scene was embarrassing for a while, and at this moment, everyone didn't care much about the person who was captured, but looked at their master and mother carefully.

I don't understand why the master is so angry, and secretly worries about the two of them.

Mu Qingyan hadn't figured out how to deal with this situation, and she also found that it was useless to play tricks and coquettish this time, and pretend not to know, but it was just done.

Didn't he keep Zhang Qing here to arrest Shui Linglong and Yu Dang, and now, she also helped arrest people...... Forget it, forget it, he probably doesn't want to see himself here!

Mu Qingyan took a breath, motioned to Luan'er on the side, Yan'er left, and then said to Zhang Qing: "If there is anything that needs to be solved, send someone to find me......"

Before the words fell, the king did not reply, and a cold voice came out, saying, "Come here!

Mu Qingyan didn't know what to do, standing in place and thinking.

For a long time, the man who did not wait for the woman looked back at her, and the next moment, he turned around and walked back.

Three steps and two steps, his arm firmly encircled her waist, stared down at her, gritted his teeth and asked, "Where are you going now? This king said a few words to you, and you were angry? This king's anger has not subsided, and you still dare to go?"

Mu Qingyan lightly opened her lips and said, "I thought you would ...... when I left."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted, and King's Landing said, "You did such a dangerous thing with your own hands, what if something happened to the king, and the king didn't have time to save him, what should I do?"

Mu Qingyan blinked, her long eyelashes fanned, "......"

She really thought about this situation, but she was very informative about herself, so she didn't have much of a burden in her heart.

King's Landing stretched out his hand and squeezed her jaw violently, forcing her to raise her head to meet his own eyes, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with what this king said? This king knows that you are not weak in kung fu, but what is called a hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, and you have taken this king's words as wind in your ears?"

Hearing the words of a man so out of control is full of worry.

Mu Qingyan's nose was sour, she hesitated for a while, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I won't be in the future!"

"Hmph!" Hearing this, King's Landing snorted coldly, and just said: "This account, this king will remember it first, and when it has accumulated a certain number of times, this king will slowly settle accounts with you." ”

"Stingy!" Mu Qingyan opened her eyes wide, looking at the unexpected side of the domineering and cold man in front of her, and couldn't help muttering.

The tense atmosphere in the venue dissipated, and everyone also found that the crisis was lifted, although they didn't know what the two people were talking about, but it was enough to be able to relieve the dangerous sense of oppression!

However, the next moment, they seemed to see Mu Qingyan in King's Landing's arms, and took the initiative to raise their heads and kiss them......

Everyone naturally knows not to look at incivility, not to listen to incivility, and as a secret guard, they naturally understand that the master's affairs cannot be seen.

Zhang Heng glanced at Luan'er secretly, quickly lowered his head, and pretended not to see anything.

Zhang Qing watched it with a taste, without any sense of crisis, until Yan'er next to him reached out and pinched his waist fiercely, and then his face changed and his eyes drooped.

Vermilion's lips kissed the thin lips tenderly, and then, slowly, retreated.

At the moment when they were about to separate, King's Landing bit Mu Qingyan's lip with bad intentions, and then said in a serious voice: "Don't think that this is the case, this king will not be angry, his anger will only disappear a little...... Now is not the time for children to grow up, tell this king, how did you find this place, and how did you know that the other side is empty?"

Mu Qingyan was taken away by the worry in his heart by his businesslike and dissipated angry face, and his body relaxed slightly, no longer tense as he was just now, but he was a little slow about the topic that suddenly shifted.

Because, at this time, her mind was full of him......

"Uh...... This ......"

King's Landing looked at her a little dazed, frowned slightly, hugged the person in his arms, and then gestured to the guard, and the guard escorted everyone he caught.

"Lift your face up!"

However, the captured people didn't listen at all, and the secret guard naturally reached out and handed it to their necks, forcing the kneeling people to raise their heads.

King's Landing looked at the unfamiliar face and asked coldly, "Where is the other side leading to?Who else is inside?What are you doing inside?"

However, the two people who were arrested kept their mouths tightly shut, didn't say anything, and looked like they wanted to beat and kill.

Mu Qingyan stared at the two kneeling on the ground, and when she stared at the stout man, she found that there was something wrong with the face on his face, and after looking at it for a while, she felt a pimple in her heart, and said, "Tear his face off!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Stunned for a moment, even if he was surprised, the dark guard still stepped forward with a sharp knife and wanted to cut the faces of the two kneeling on the ground......

"That's not the case!" Mu Qingyan couldn't help but be abrupt when she saw the secret guard holding the knife, knowing that they would be wrong, she hurriedly said: "There is an excuse to tear it apart from their necks, and their faces are not real faces." ”

When the secret guard heard this, he immediately understood, and quickly tore off a thin piece of human skin-colored skin on the faces of the two captured people in front of everyone's eyes, revealing his original face.

"Xiao Qinghou!" King's Landing gaze fell on the face of the thin man kneeling on the ground, and his eyes flashed with astonishment.

Xiao Qinghou was not arrested and killed because of Xiao Guifei's matter?

Didn't the prince already ask everyone up and down in the Xiao Mansion to blame, how could he still see Xiao Qinghou here?

Moreover, Xiao Qinghou, who was full of red light in the past, has long since lost his original good breath at this moment, leaving only a face of wind and frost.

"Xiao Qinghou?" Mu Qingyan followed the gaze of King's Landing and looked at the thin man, and couldn't help but wonder, everyone in the Xiao family should have been killed, and the Xiao Qinghou in front of her was too different from the one she saw by chance at the banquet.

King's Landing blocked Mu Qingyan's sight, and also separated Xiao Qinghou's cruel gaze, and said coldly: "This king remembers, you should have died early, not that you should still be alive in this world. ”

Xiao Qinghou's old eyes were full of hatred, staring at King's Landing with the most resentful gaze, and roared in a hoarse voice: "King's Landing, don't be complacent too soon...... Sooner or later, you'll not end much better than me!"

Hearing this, King's Landing looked cold, his thin lips opened slightly, and said: "What will happen to this king, it is not up to you to decide, as for what kind of living method you can get, this king can completely control it! Take it down, don't let him die......"
